Why JBD Partners

We are also a business owner like you and need to focus on profit activities such as sales and promotions most of the time to generate cash and tend to spend less time to cost centers like compliance filings, etc.

And we understand cost centers need to be minimized for not only existing companies but also especially start-up companies surviving in the market with limited capital.

However, the compliance in Japan is complex and the business owner and management has to understand various compliances completely.

If not understanding well, you will face significant risks even if you do not intend to violate and simply do not know.

For the foreign investors, Japan market looks high barrier to entry due to monolingual environment, unique local culture and complicated compliance and business permissions.

A key to successful market entry is to find and work with a reliable Japanese partner who has substantial professional experience to operate business in Japan.

Without a resident partner involvement, you cannot even set up company, open corporate bank account and would easily lose ways to go ahead.

You might have a friend living in Japan and consider to appoint him/her as representative director of your new Japanese company. However you need to think over potential delegation risks.

Unless you can say your Japanese business partner is fully trustable with long-term business relationship, we recommend to use nominee representative director to avoid potential delegation risks.

We can provide nominee representative director, support your business entry to expansion and manage compliances and business permissions to make sure you can initiate business operations smoothly without any compliance risks.
